Elder Kaeda's Story

Lyra's sleep ended in an unpleasant way. She bolted up holding tightly on her shin doing the best she can not to scream. Looking down Lyra could see an elder lady and by the guess of it she threw a rock. Seeing the elder wanted to talk to her; Lyra stood up the water dragon unwrapping as she did so. Taking a deep breath Lyra dove into the depths below hardly making a sound.

Daemon's impeccable hearing woke him up, hearing the familiar sound of a rock hitting bone, he almost screamed, remembering the pain accompanied by that sound, then he heard shuffling, he saw a figure in the dark, instead of saying anything, he followed the figure.

Caesar's similarities to a cat did not end there; in fact they continued; as he remained asleep despite the noises that woke the other two. Sasha raised her head and looked around, sniffing the air as she stayed by Caesar's side, but otherwise she did not move.

Lyra broke the surface of the water as she greedily took a breath of air. "Nice of you to join." An elderly lady said as she threw a towel on the girl's head. "That freaking hurt!" Lyra wined carefully swimming to the edge not to drop the towel. "I needed your attention somehow." Lyra sat on the edge and made an attempt to dry her long brown hair. "So, what do you need?" The elder handed Lyra a list. "Need you to go pick things up."

An elderly lady whom sat next to a bed with Lyra in it sleeping peacefully, she looked back. "What is it Elder?" Rex came in while wiping his hands, not it was not long ago that he finished working on Lyra. "It feels as if there is a dark entity near by." The elder one stood with her cane in hand. "It, oh. It is almost dawn isn't?" The Elder looked back at the paling Rex. "Here I thought I would have time. Do you still think I can do it Kaeda?" Kaeda shook her head. "Even if you did it would be pointless, you are not the fighting type. Now let us go out and greet this shadow." Rex nodded and followed the Elder into the Center area looking about.

Lucius noted an odd pair walking towards him, quickly dispelling The Tantibus, he smiled while extending his hand. "Hello there, forgot to introduce myself earlier, quite a shame. Nonetheless, I'm Lucius, pleasure to meet you all."

Noting their tired eyes, he added, "Goodness, I didn't keep you up now, did I? Sorry about that, had a few personal errands to run. Ya know how Mothers are."

Keada with both her hands on her cane gave a slight bow in greeting. "I am Elder Keada and from what I have been told you have already met Rex, the healer. As a Unique, I thank you for ensuring the leader's return."

She smile at his question. "I am an old lady, tiredness is a fact now." Rex kept a careful eye on Lucius, not sure what to think of him.

"Well, It wasn't all that bad, just caused me to realize my own mortality, but I jest." Lucius' smile faded a bit, "You said healer right? Good, good."

With that, Lucius collapsed on the ground, skull in hand.
